Grand Slam: Djokovic Wins US Open Del Potro Backs Him To Surpass Federer

SAN FRANCISCO, September 10, (THEWILL) – Novak Djokovic clinched his third US Open title on Sunday with a 6-3, 7-6 (7/4), 6-3 triumph over Juan Martin del Potro, taking him level with Pete Sampras’s mark of 14 Grand Slams.

The 31-year-old Serb is now just three behind Rafael Nadal and del Potro believes Djokovic can end his career as the most successful Grand Slam title winner, surpassing Roger Federer’s current mark of 20.

“Of course he can,” said Del Potro when asked if Djokovic can claim the record over Federer who is six years his senior.

“He has 14 already. He won two Grand Slams in one year. He’s healthy. He has a great team working with him.

“Hopefully him, Rafa, Roger will still fight for Grand Slams, because it is so nice to watch them fighting for the history.

“We just do what we can against them. But Novak has everything to make records in this sport.”
